Ohio State combo guard D'Angelo Russell cancelled his workout with the Philadelphia 76ers this week, due to a reported illness.

D'Angelo Russell canceled this weekend's scheduled workout with the 76ers after getting "real sick," according to a source close to the former Ohio State standout. Another source said don't rule out the franchise securing a workout with Russell in the near future.

It's entirely possible that Russell merely missed the workout because he was actually sick. These guys are human, it happens. If the team and prospect reschedule, no drama here. However, the mere mention did set of questions as to whether Russell, who worked out for the Lakers four days ago, has secured a guarantee at No.2 with the LA. It would be surprising on a number of levels, given the potential availability of Karl Towns should the Minnesota Timberwolves decide to draft Jahlil Okafor, and because of the Lakers' need for size downlow next to the talented but undersized cannonball of Julius Randle at power forward. Still, point guard has been a considerable concern for LA through the years and Jeremy Lin does not appear long for the Lakeshow.

If Russell were to be taken No.2, that would create quite a bit of chaos. The Philadelphia 76ers, who may still be looking at Emmanuel Mudiay, Justise Winslow, or Kristaps Porzingis according to reports, would be in a pickle with either Towns or Okafor slipping the year after they took Nerlens Noel and Joel Embiid in back to back drafts. That's not to say they wouldn't select one of the two top big men, but it does complicate the situation to a degree. It's a good problem to have.

Meanwhile, if the Sixers didn't draft Okafor should he slip, you can bet the Knicks will jump right on top of that opportunity and put him firmly at the low post of the triangle offense. That would take about 0.4 seconds for Phil Jackson to decide on.

Again, this is likely just Russell coming down with an illness from all the travel he's done crossing the country for workouts, but it does present some interesting scenarios. Russell was reportedly at the top of the Sixers' board back in April.
